Shuvo received his B.Sc. in Chemistry and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from Rajshahi University, Bangladesh. He earned his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry in 2011 at Sogang University, South Korea. There he completed two years of post-doctoral work before being promoted to Research Professor.

Shuvo has been following Prof. Eddaoudi's work for the last five years. He is fascinated by the potential of MOFs for gas separation and their industrial applications. This is why he decided to switch his field of study and focus his career on the study of MOFs.

 

“Among advanced nanoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as most powerful platforms for gas storage, gas separation, catalysis and sensing. Therefore, I decided to move my research area from Zeolites to MOFs for gas separations. Prof. Eddaoudi and his group is the world leader for various industrially relevant gas mixture separation using MOFs and MOFs based membranes. I was delighted to be selected to lead a small group specifically focussed on Mixed Matrix Membranes“, he explained.

 

One of the things Shuvo likes most about working at AMPM Center and KAUST is the freedom that researchers have to investigate and overcome the challenges they face. 

 

“AMPM Center is well equipped and has an excellent environment for researchers to work together. I like the most that we know our ultimate research objectives and we have full freedom to design and execute research to reach the target”, said Shuvo.

​

“On the social side, KAUST is extremely well organized, very safe, and a great place for my children to grow up in an absolutely diverse community”, he concluded.
